Globalstar, Inc. Announces Proposed Public Offering of $60 Million in Shares of Voting Common Stock

Globalstar, Inc. (“Globalstar”) (NYSE American: GSAT), a leading provider of mobile satellite voice and data services to businesses, governments, and individuals, today announced that it has commenced an offer of $60 million in shares of voting common stock in a registered underwritten public offering. The offering will be subject to market and other conditions. In addition, Globalstar intends to grant the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to $9 million in additional shares of voting common stock.

As required by the credit agreement with its senior lenders (the “Facility Agreement”), Globalstar intends to deposit 80% of the net proceeds from the offering in a restricted account for the benefit of the lenders under the Facility Agreement. The proceeds held in this restricted account, together with a portion of cash on hand, will be used to pay principal and interest due under the Facility Agreement in December 2018. Globalstar expects that the remainder of the proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes.

The offering will be made only to qualified and readily identifiable Globalstar stockholders on a pro rata basis, pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement entered into in connection with a shareholder action previously filed against Globalstar. In connection with the settlement agreement, Globalstar’s controlling shareholder, Thermo Funding II, LLC and its affiliates, Mudrick Capital Management, L.P. and Warlander Asset Management have agreed to purchase their pro rata share of the offering and to backstop the balance offered to, but not purchased by, other Globalstar stockholders, on a pro rata basis based on their respective ownerships of Globalstar’s common stock.

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. is acting as the sole book-running manager for the offering.

The offering is being made pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
